DeepSeek V4.1 Flash scores 24.9 points higher overall (44.4 vs 19.5). DeepSeek V4.1 Flash scores higher on Newton's Mirror, with its largest category advantage in state at 600 ms.
The first wall and floor images provide limited reflection geometry, but the room's mirror recurrence is substantially incomplete, particularly the outer-edge chains and lateral sightlines. The main sphere and its large reflected images lack ordered, curved room and virtual-sphere imagery. Repeated emitter mapping is missing from both planar mirrors and spherical surfaces.
Benchmark task
A shiny steel ball spins in a room with mirrored walls and a mirrored floor. Red, cyan and black paint float above it. Gravity suddenly switches on. Draw the scene a moment later, as the ball drops and paint begins landing on its spinning surface. Show the reflections repeating through the room.
The small paint features and convex shading deserve moderate material credit. The sphere remains undersized and low, with black unusually close to its apex. Crimson and cyan do not establish the required impact histories. Faint reflected echoes supply limited optical evidence, while the defining recursive room, nested sphere and emitter structures remain unestablished.

Expressive faces, cobalt coloring and a flowing diagonal composition make the mutual inspection charming. Execution is uneven: the long pointed flipper lacks a convincing grip, the enlarged shrimp face appears detached from its body, and the large lens is oval. Flat anatomical shading and an unexplained purple ringed patch beneath the whale weaken the requested polished depth.
Benchmark task
Draw a curious blue whale examining a tiny shrimp through a bubble magnifying glass. The shrimp looks back through its own smaller bubble lens. An octopus assistant sits on the whale's head while rising bubbles lift a little seaweed wig above it.
A recognizable lantern-and-moth illustration with appealing coloured wings and tidy outer contours. Simple construction, a small focal subject and crowded overlaps limit character and depth. The face, six-leg anatomy, seedling and antenna-driven watering joke remain insufficiently readable.
The centered portrait, dark hair, crossed hands and muted landscape make the reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the frontal pose, staring eyes and weakly defined smile. Hands are overlapping oval masses with almost no finger articulation, while wrists disappear into sleeves. Soft gradients suggest volume, but broad, indistinct surfaces and faint stray lines leave the drawing basic and uneven.
A recognizable Mona Lisa motif emerges from dark hair, a pale face and a landscape band. Replication remains weak: the oversized frontal head, broad smile, unresolved torso and missing crossed-hand anatomy diverge substantially from the reference. Simple fills and sparse strokes provide limited volume, material definition or painterly complexity.
The glowing sunset, silhouetted palm and playful foreground create a coherent, appealing beach illustration. Birds, crab, boat and reflections fulfill the brief. The airborne animals have weakly defined anatomy and little convincing splash interaction. Broad, blurred reflections and largely flat surfaces limit depth and finish.
Benchmark task
Create an SVG of a amazing beach scene. Sunset, animals, fun, birds, reflections
A coherent, cheerful beach scene with balanced placement, clean shapes and controlled sunset colours. Animals, birds and playful accessories are recognizable, but basic dolphin construction, weak grounding, schematic reflections and sparse material detail limit the drawing's accomplishment.

A dark steel room has four pillars and two warm ceiling lights. A wooden plank is placed over a computer mouse, with a blueberry on the plank above it. Draw the scene a few seconds later, showing how the objects settle and how the light, shadows and surfaces look.

The sunset palette and silhouetted grouping establish an appealing scene. A masked rider sits above a pointed-eared dog, but merged body shapes leave limbs and support unresolved. The boatlike craft lacks readable steering controls, so the requested action is unclear. Sparse facial marks and glowing spray dots offer limited detail.
Benchmark task
A raccoon sits on a dog's back while the dog steers a jet ski
The recognizable raccoon and clean, shaded forms make a readable cartoon. The dog's steering remains undemonstrated, while ambiguous seating contacts and a minimally constructed craft weaken the central interaction. Controlled gradients and edges deserve credit, but anatomy, purposeful detail and water displacement remain basic.

A recognizable pelican rides a brightly colored bicycle against a striking sunset. The sweeping bill, trailing scarf and circular wheels create a controlled composition. Both legs connect, but pedal linkage, body support and the wing's handlebar grip remain loosely resolved. Clean vector shapes and feather details work well; simplified shading limits volume and integration with the sunset light.
A recognizable pelican and bicycle combine clean rounded forms, expressive facial details and effective surface shading. Aligned wheels and soft shadows establish placement, but unresolved pedal engagement, absent steering contact and sparse drivetrain construction weaken the riding action. Limited feather complexity and shallow space constrain an otherwise appealing illustration.
